We’re using this in a bash shell script. I don’t think there’s a native shell command to get the IP, so I’ll use a mixture of host and dig as necessary.

If it's part of a script, it might be easier to just use gethostbyname. For example, in php: http://php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyname.php , Returns the IPv4 address or a string containing the unmodified hostname on failure. -- Fajar On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 10:43 AM, Frank Bulk <frnk...@iname.com <mailto:frnk...@iname.com> > wrote: Thanks, what I ended up using.
